Annie and her brother love spending time with their grandparents, but when Alzheimer's disease becomes a part of their visits, things have to change. Although Annie is uncertain at first, she knows that she loves her grandma no matter what.
Alzheimer's can be a difficult journey for families, but when we don't talk about it, kids might start to think it's not okay to ask questions. This book is a lovely way to introduce kids to the science of Alzheimer's disease and how to act toward their loved ones without being rude. I loved the simple storyline and the touching emotions. It's obvious that Christiana Egi really cares about sharing the truth about aging and mental health. I'll certainly be keeping this book in my classroom, not only for kids who are dealing with these kinds of things firsthand but also to help others see the elderly with compassion and understanding.
